PEM’S NEW CASTSERT™ THREADED INSERTS
CASTSERT™ Press-In Inserts…NEW from PENN ENGINEERING
The long awaited press-in inserts from PEM just launched. PEM® 300 Series Stainless Steel CASTSERT™ inserts provide strong, durable metal threads in zinc, extruded aluminum, and die-cast magnesium and aluminum ranging in hardness HRB 50 to 80.
The overall, simple press-in, installation process for these inserts uses a flat punch and anvil to install all sizes and lengths, approximately 80% faster than other methods.
FEATURES
- Depth of knurl allows engagement with as-cast draft angle holes, or milled holes.
- Process cost savings vs. coil inserts or thread tapping.
- Pull-out performance varies based on panel material, length of engagement (thread size), and draft angle.
- Installed by simply pressing the inserts into drilled or as-cast holes. Installation is accomplished using any standard press at any time during the production process.
- Symmetric, thru-hole design for ease of manufacturability, installation without need for orienting.
- Auto-feed capability Left-handed, helical knurl for ease of installation, pullout and torque-out resistance, and
ensuring insert stability when removing stuck/ damaged male hardware. - Lowered pilot diameter allows for proper seating of insert and undercut to provide additional pull-out performance. Lead in chamfer on knurl body to self center part during install.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Available in thread sizes #2-56 to 5/16-18 / M3 to M10 in two lengths per thread size.
